A message for Rob Garven, but hopefully the whole list will benefit from his view.

When my wife (who had been a drummer in several local bands in her 20s) and I first met Rob at Monterey, we were all 30 somethings...  Finny took a huge shine to Rob because he was a drummer and she really loved his long hair.  Sadly, she is no longer with us (just crossed the 15 year mark of her passing).   A good friend of hers who stays in contact is part of world of Tool (the band) by way of Joe Slaby, Danny Carey's drum tech.   She knows I'm a fan and alerted me back in early March of a video coming to Vic Firth's YouTube channel featuring Danny.   I waited, I watched, and was mesmerized by what I saw and heard... truly.  I've re-watched that video 50 times the past few months and often play it while working in the garage.  I am NOT a musician.  I know what I like but couldn't carry a tune in a bucket.

Yesterday, my daughter called and told me there are hundreds of people (mostly with no clue) doing reaction videos to Danny's video.   So many have no idea who Tool is... but think they'll go places.

So Rob, being the only living, active drummer I know... I'm assuming you've seen the video....what is your impression of Danny Carey at work?  How difficult is it to maintain multiple polyrhythms and polymeters?

Keep in mind, Danny will be 60 next spring.

Looking forward to your response, my friend.
